25,000 years ago/Early 1800's- Camera Obscura

# data[].attributes.body
The camera obscura was the first ever photo-capture device, and it was written about by the Chinese, but first explained by Aristotle. It helped artists with their drawings, and even made some of them look "Camera-like". There is a pinhole, and that pinhole is the only light source. The light is refracted off of the pinhole to create an upside down projection. This projection is then traced by the artist. This made it easier to make pictures, instead of having to do the portrait freehand.

The camera obscura was made portable. They did this by putting it in a box with the pinhole on one side and the other side, glass. This allowed artists to more easily trace their image by hand.

Johann Heinrich Schulze found out that when you expose silver salts to light, they darken. This is related to photography because people use silver salts in camera films. However, Schulze didn't realize that he could've used the silver salts to make pictures.

Thomas Wedgewood created sun pictures. He did this by treating leather with silver salts and placing leaves on the leather. However, he couldn't figure out how to keep his "picture" from darkening and his leaf "pictures" turned black. For photography, they had to find a way to keep a permanent image, and combine light-sensitive material with the camera obscura.

Joseph Nicephore Niepce is responsible for the birth of photography. He coated a plate with an asphalt, bitumen, and placed it in a camera obscura. He left it there for 8 hours, which created the first photo.

This is the first ever camera film, which was discovered by Niepce. Niepce told Louis Jacques Daguerre about his findings, and then Daguerre invented the Daguerrotype. This invention allows clear images to form. It puts a copper plate coated in silver Iodide behind the camera's projection, which is light sensitive.

The word photography was used for the first time when the photographic process was made public. This invention was made by Sir John Herschel. Photographic process is how photographic film and paper are treated after photographic exposure. This is too produce an image, both positively and or negatively

Panchromatic Films are colored photographs. Everyone had tried to make colored photographs since the 1860s, but they weren't successful until 1906 when a film sensitive to colors was created. After this was discovered, people then started taking colored pictures.

Polaroid created the first ever instant color film. This let people take pictures instantly, and in color which had just been invented a few decades earlier! Now they have multiple polaroid cameras.
